I’m Presenting at WordCamp Boston January 23, 2010
I’m excited to announce that I’m going to be speaking at the 1st WordCamp Boston. I’ll be talking about the marriage of two of my favorite technologies: WordPress and HTML5.

It takes place January 23, 2010 and is being held at:
Microsoft New England Research and Development Center

Cambridge, MA 02142
Thanks once again to Microsoft for hosting pretty much every technology group in the area 🙂
